I am a Conservative because it isn't the job of the federal government to make us successful; it's the job of the federal government to create an environment that allows us to make ourselves successful.
Conservatism appeals most strongly to me because of its ideology and the effect that is has on the United States.
Each person in America subscribes to their own ideology. This consists of a body of ideas reflecting the social...

Just like Liberalism, Conservatism had undergone a historical transformation in America. Early conservatives urged the support of the government in economic enterprise and government intervention within certain groups. In today’s society, conservatives argue that more government involvement will interfere with our individual lives and cause limitations. Thus, we now have a branch from early conservatives to contemporary conservatism. Contemporary conservatism is not always opposed to state...

Ronald Reagan’s address to the National Associations of Evangelicals (NAE) proved to be a speech that will forever be remembered and referenced because of its rhetoric. In a time of war, Reagan delivered a speech that impacted our nation and branded the term “evil empire” in the minds of Americans in reference to the Soviet Union. His deliberative “Evil Empire” speech strategically coaxed the audience by commending the religious power of America and advocating the unity of religion and politics....

Views on: History|Progress (tomorrow will be better than today), evolution (slow, incremental progress is inevitable and should be encouraged); sometimes need for more radical change|“Conserve” traditions and institutions like the monarchy and the family; recognize what is valuable from the past.

On the greasy pole:
The Canadian Conservative Party
Whether or not the Conservative party will secure another majority government in the 2015 elections is a question occupying everyone's mind. There are, of course, arguments to support both the possibilities yet the debate seems to be lopsided. The Canadian Conservatism as well as the Conservative party is bound to fail, eventually, at replacing the Liberal party in its role as the federal level governing party of Canada. There are certain...

English conservatism, which was called Toryism, emerged during the Restoration (1660–1688). It supported a hierarchical society with a monarch who ruled by divine right. However the Glorious Revolution (1688 , which established constitutional government, led to a reformulation of Toryism which now considered sovereignty vested in the three estates of Crown, Lords, and Commons.[7]),
Conservatism developed in Restoration England from royalism. Royalists supported absolute monarchy, arguing...

In Cowboy Conservatism, we get to take a look at the rise of conservatism in Texas and the many events that led to the shift from Democratic Texas to a more right wing centered Texas. The events in the book including the election of LBJ, the assassination of Kennedy, and the election of Ronald Reagan, are some of the major events that helped shape Texas into what it is today. For a century after Reconstruction, the Democratic Party enjoyed electoral dominance on all levels of state government...

Review of The Triumph of Conservatism:
A Reinterpretation of American History,
1900-1916, by Gabriel Kolko.
In The Triumph of Conservatism, Gabriel Kolko argued that the Progressive Era was in fact a conservative period. It emerged, he wrote, from the efforts of a business community which concerned itself with attaining economic “stability, predictability, and security”—i.e. a system of rationalization which would guarantee sustained profits and which would...

In which ways did the Fifties and Sixties in the USA set the scene for the rise of conservatism in the Seventies and into the Reagan era? Was the rise of the right inevitable? Please explain your point of view.
The 1950s in America are often described as a time of complacency. By contrast, the 1960s and 1970s were a time of great change. But the economy of the 70s was not stable because of the Oil crisis and presidents did not seem to find a solution to get the economy work again. For the...

﻿Conservatism merely reflects the interests of the privileged and prosperous. Discuss (45)
It is often said that conservatism merely reflects the interests of the privileged and prosperous and though it can be argued that conservatism seeks to protect the inheritance of property and tradition, there have been instances in conservatism where the interests of the less privileged have been protected, this is known as paternalism or one nation conservatism.
The negative conservative view of human...

The Impact of Conservatism in Religion
Change has always involved resistance as well as acceptance. Changes that have to make their way over opposition will presumably be better than changes that are accepted without serious questioning.
In addition, modern conservatism is not resistant to change as such, but to intentional change of a peculiarly sweeping sort characteristic of the period beginning with the French Revolution and guided by Enlightenment and post-Enlightenment philosophies...

Abstract
This paper examines the structures of conservatism and liberalism in its most basic forms. It
explores several different sources of information containing different views upon the true
definition of “conservatism” and “liberalism” and how the two groups interact among each other. ...

﻿Europe was undergoing immense change in the 19th century, good and sometimes bad. There are two basic sides in the debate about change. There are the conservatives who are happy to keep the way the things they are and liberals who weren’t.
Conservatives wanted to maintain tradition, specifically the king, the rights of nobles and the church. Conservatives opposed liberal ideas like human rights and equality for all people. Conservatives are often from the landed classes, the noble classes or...

The extensive influence of conservatism is evident in Harding’s Republican economic policies. A distinct marker of conservatism in the 1920s was reduced taxes. Harding’s tax cuts implemented in acts such as the Revenue Act of 1921 thus reflect this influence of conservatism. Conservatism’s traditionalist sentiments also influenced Harding to pass the economic policy Esch-Cummins Transportation Act, which saw to the deregulation of railroads, putting their control back into the hands of...

﻿Basic principles of conservatism: Conservatism a political and social philosophy that encourages retaining traditional social institutions. This political ideology disposed to preserve existing conditions, institutions and to restore traditional ones and limits change. Conservatism emphasizes on three principles; resistance to change, appreciation of the traditions and institutions of our culture and society and a preference of the security and comfort of the actual world ever the insecurities...

The post-Thatcherite New Right ideology evolved from a combination of elements of neo-Liberal and neo-Conservative ideologies, and although these are occasionally contradictory in nature, they set the New Right apart from traditional Conservatism.
The neo-liberal principles prevalent in the ideology of the New Right includes a laissez-faire view of welfare, strong support for individualism and the rising middle class, and limited government intervention in both the economy, and society as a...

Is conservatism merely a ruling class ideology?
A ruling class ideology as defined by Karl Marx is “the class which has the means of material production at its disposal, has control at the same time over the means of mental production... the ideas of those who lack the means of mental production are subject to it”, in other words a ruling class is the social class that decides and sets governmental policy. Traditionally conservative supporters have originated from upper and middle class...

Classical Liberalism vs. Classical Conservatism
In today's society, most people are unable to explain the differences between the Democratic Party and the Republican Party. In fact, the two parties' ideologies seem to be very much alike; and therefore, people tend to believe that a Republican candidate and a Democratic candidate running for the same office will not make a large difference from one another. Furthermore, both Democrats, the supposedly liberal party, and Republicans, the...

Conservatism is a philosophy of imperfection in that it highlights a variety of flaws and failings in human nature, thus emphasising the limited prospect for social and political advancement. Human nature is flawed in at least three ways. First, human beings are limited and dependant creatures, who are drawn to the familiar, the tried and tested. People, therefore, recoil from change and seek reassurance in tradition. Second, human nature is morally imperfect in that people are driven by...

Moderate conservatism is a declining force in the Republican Party?
Moderate conservatism has become less prevalent in recent years. This is mainly down to ideological differences between new emerging branches of the Republican Party. For example the rise of the tea party has dramatically moved the republicans to the right with the likes of Sarah Palin leading the way. However Romney has shown that moderate conservatism is still within the Republican Party due to his “flip flopping” nature....

Compare and Contrast Modern Conservatism and Modern Liberalism
Modern liberalism and modern conservatism are both extremely centrist ideologies, “In fact, US conservatism comes out of classical liberalism so the modern versions of both ideologies share deep philosophical roots” (Guide, pg. 1). These roots date back to the 17th century, extending into the early 20th century. To fully understand American politics, it is a key to understand the dominant ideologies. It is also crucial to...

Assess the extent to which conservatism influenced changes in American society in the 1920’s
In the early 20th century there were a variety of changes throughout American society. These changes were brought about by the election of the Republican Party and the conservative policies that they implemented throughout the 1920’s. Changes and reforms occurred throughout society but mainly in the areas of, prohibition and crime, immigration restrictions, religious fundamentalism, racial conflict,...

The rise of conservatism after 1970 was primarily a response to the excesses of the 1960s
Conservatism as a political belief signifies an amalgamation of political ideologies including fiscal conservatism, free market or economic liberalism, social conservatism and religious conservatism, It also includes a support for a strong military, small government, and states' rights. The tactics of conservatism vary widely by place and time. But the most central feature of conservatism is deference:...

﻿Why has Conservatism been described as a philosophy of imperfection? (15 marks)
Conservatism can be seen to be a ‘philosophy if imperfection’ according to O’Sullivan.This idea is manifested in their pessimistic view of human nature advocating Tradition, Pragmatism and Paternalism. As Burke states society should be ‘a partnership between those who are living, those who are dead and those who are born’ which clearly shows support of the status quo otherwise change and uncertainty can lead to...

It seems that Kant has a much more conservative view towards lying and when it is permissible. Grotius has a much more liberal, modern, and understanding view on the issue. Kant pretty much thinks that it is one's duty to speak the truth, although this moral principle is not taken unconditionally in the world today. This is a duty because it is every man's right to know the truth and lying to anyone would be taking this right away, which mortals should not have the power to do. However, if a...

﻿Quote Essay
Winston Churchill once said, “Only a man with no heart would be conservative when he is young; only a man with no brain would be liberal when he is older” and this proved to be very true. Winston Churchill is directly saying that young people are liberals while old people are conservatives. This Quote implies that liberals are not very smart and young people are generally liberal and that conservatives are not very kind and genuine and old people are generally conservative. This...

﻿How successful was Peel as leader of the Conservatives in the period 1834-41?
During the period of 1834 to 1841 Peel in fact only spent 100 days in office. His first ministry earned the name of the “100 day Ministry” and yet he may have done more in those 100 days for the success for his party than many politicians may have done in a lifetime. Not only did he make great progress for the Conservative Party during his brief premiership, which followed the dismissal of Lord Melbourne by William...

From 1997 to 2005 conservative party lost three general elections in a row. David Cameron has introduced much reform into the Conservative Party since his ascension into power of the Conservative Party, in December 2005. He has, in many ways, modernised the Party, and has introduced measures that are so wide reaching, that his brand of Conservatism has a name, Social Conservatism....

To what extent do the UK’s major parties accept Thatcherite ideas and policies?
In 1975, Margaret Thatcher became leader of the Conservative Party and began the idea of Thatcherism. Margaret Thatcher believed in individuality, radical change and a strong Government that enforces the law, rather than interfering in the economy. Her ideas were seen as being very similar to classical liberalism. Under her rule, the Conservatives were no longer truly conservative, as conservatives are usually...

﻿To what extent is the Conservative Party under David Cameron still a 'New Right' party?
David Cameron took over as Conservative Party leader in 2005. Due to his privileged background, upbringing and education many see him as the stereotypical Tory politician, supportive of those with money, out of touch with the problems faced by the working classes and stuck in the traditional values of a bygone age. We have seen since he became Prime Minister however that he is far more liberal than many of...

The five agents of socialization heavily influence a person’s political beliefs and views on different issues. Family and friends can influence a person on major political positions and even affect if that person considers themselves liberal, conservative, or moderate. A liberal is open to new behavior or opinions and willing to discard traditional values. A conservative holds to traditional attitudes and values and is cautious about change or innovation, typically in relation to politics or...

Why, and to what extent, have conservatives been committed to tradition and continuity?
Conservatism was a reaction to all other ideologies. It believed in conserving the best of the past and governing society with reform, not revolution. In the French revolution there was a lot of uncertainty because people did not know what to do afterward and they ended up in a worse position then they were before. Conservatives believe that humans are; psychologically imperfect, which means that we are...

‘Conservatives support Pragmatism over principle’ Discuss.
Pragmatism essentially believes in a more practical behavior or form of policy, as opposed to an ideological principle. Conservatives traditionally favour pragmatism because it emphasizes the impact of applied ideas that have been tested over time- highlighting the importance of tradition (one major traditional conservative value. One-nation conservatives agree with the foundations of pragmatic ideas. Whereas the New Right was heavily...

The Religious Right
Who are they and what are they doing to America?
In the past three decades, there has been a major shift in the Republican Party. While the Republicans have represented the economic conservative side for some time, they only recently became the party of socially conservative policies. This is in large part due to their absorption of the Religious Right Party. The Religious Right, a faction of the conservative movement, is a group of individuals who feel that government...

The liberal’s victory in the 1906 was a very significant one due to how they won it with such an overwhelming majority; it was the biggest electoral victory since 1832. In the 1890’s the liberals were suffering from a crisis identity and they were lacking in money and morale. In the 1906 election the liberals won 49.4% of the vote and that amounted to 399 seats which was such a large margin compared to in 1900 where 45% of the vote was only 183 seats. There are four main reasons arguably why...

In Is the American Dream Over, Cal Thomas elaborates on the article previously published by Bob Herbert, Hiding from Reality. In Thomas’ article he habitually blames the liberals for the government’s decline. He frequently directs attacks right into the faces of all of his readers, whether liberal or conservative. His stance is not only completely biased, but it is offensive to the liberal audience. Thomas’ piece is composed of stabs at liberals for ruining the economy, letting the government...

This paper sets out to answer one central question: how has the Conservative Party really managed public spending should play in the UK since 1945? Through an examination of Conservative ideas about public spending and the Party’s record in government, the paper will argue that there is a core ambivalence towards the state and public spending within UK Conservatism.

﻿Using material from Item A and elsewhere, assess the value of the right realist approach to crime and deviance.
Realist approaches to crime are alternatives to the Marxist and Interactionist approaches, which in realists eyes both seemed to be unable to generate ideas that could lead to reducing levels of crime. Marxists tended to see property crime as a justified attempt to redistribute wealth, whereas Interactionists saw criminals as different from non-criminals only in that they had...

CONSERVATISM QUESTIONS – A2 (UNIT 4)
Short Answers
1. How do traditional conservatives and the New Right differ in their views of society? (Jan 02)
Traditional conservatives believe in an organic society, arguing that society is best understood as a living entity rather than an artefact or machine. Amongst the implications of this view are that social change should be resisted unless it is 'natural'; that traditional institutions should be preserved because of their role in sustaining the...

The Conscience of a Conservative: Chapter 1
The first chapter of The Conscience of a Conservative articulately describes the conservative ideology. Barry Goldwater delves into Conservatism, and explains that although economics play a role in their ideals, it is surely not the main focus—supporting the idea, and stressing the fact, that they are not money cravers. In a sense, the well-being of the average man and their needs, such as freedom, over rule their “economic wants,” as depicted in...

The Age of Jackson by Arthur Schlesinger Jr. is a book that is best described as a history of ideas, and particularly of the idea of democracy as it expanded in the 1830s and 1840s, embracing universal suffrage and economic as well as political egalitarianism. The book very much reflects the time in which it was written and the debates which it was part of, and, like much history of the period, seeks to refocus discussion of American history away from themes of frontier and nationalism....

﻿Analytical essay comparing two ideologies, Conservatism and Liberalism.
The conception of citizenship is a detrimental pillar in the foundations of society and the way we as people live together. The belief of a common conception of citizenship is what allows people to coexist, to be employed and earn money; be part of a financial system. However, as all individual people are different in many ways, not all people believe in the same ideals and fundamentals as to what it means to be a...

The Liberal Life
I am a pure liberal who will likely vote for Democratic party candidates in upcoming elections. There are many types of political views that people have that are extremely different from each other as well as very similar. Two groups people would be the pure liberals and the pure conservatives. The pure liberals are the ones who want more government action in economic issues, but less government action in social issues. Pure conservatives are the people that want less...

Why, and to what extent, have conservatives placed their faith in pragmatism rather than principle?
Pragmatism is the idea that one should take a flexible approach to politics; using an understanding of what is best for the people and what will bring stability, it also is about what is most wanted by the people. An example of this was the post war consensus when consecutive conservative governments didn’t cancel any of the widespread reforms brought in by the labour government of 1945-51....

Edmund Burke, who is often regarded as a spokesman for modern conservatism, believed that human rights were based on tradition and could only be inherited. Burke strongly opposed the French Revolution, which in his view, attempted to break from the traditions of France and destroy their contemporary society. On the other hand, Jean-Jacque Rousseau believed that general will would always be correct and that it would unshackle humans from their chains, allowing them to become free. Burke and...

﻿To what extent in the Republican party a fiscally conservative party? (30)
The term Fiscal Conservative is broad term used to describe the group of Republican’s whose ideologies fall in line with traditional right wing economic and fiscal policy. This can be furthered to those who are associated with the Tea Party movement on the populist right and it is important to remember that the majority of Republicans are fiscally conservative in some sense. Furthermore, it can be noted that most...

On what grounds have conservatives defended property? [15]
Property is one of five specific beliefs that make up the central themes of conservatism. It is an asset that possesses a deep and, at times, almost mystical significance for conservatives. Conservatives believe that property has four functions in society: economic incentive, psychological security, social values and a stake in society, and an extension of an individual’s personality.
It is believed by conservatives that...

Do you agree with the view that Disraeli’s support for the 1867 Reform Act was motivated mainly by personal ambition? (Written in timed conditions)
Despite the fact that Disraeli’s motives in supporting the 1867 reform act are often disputed, both sources 8 and 9 assert that Disraeli’s main objective was to discredit his opponents and in doing so bolster his own reputation. In contradictions, sources 7 supports the idea that he was instead motivated by a desire to...

How successful was Peel as leader of the Conservative Party to 1841?
It is undeniable that between December 1832 and the election of 1841, under the leadership of Peel, the Tory party enjoyed a revival in terms of its popularity and organisation, under the leader ship of Robert Peel. Although some historians believe that this success can mainly be attributed to the actions of Peel, such as the Tamworth Manifesto, strong evidence, argued by reputed historians such as Eric Evans exists to...

There are two types of Liberals; Classical, who want to minimise the state’s role, and Modern liberals who want a more involved state.

However, modern liberals want a more involved state because it increases the...

The two sources have similarities in content and context. Both extracts are taken from speeches made to Parliament by Disraeli and both discuss the matter of electoral reform.

In addition, he stresses that only the ‘middle class electorate’...

﻿The thesis of my essay is that over the last six decades, the Democratic and Republican Parties have evolved from coalitions of opposites in which neither were based on an ideology, to, for the Republican Party, a faction of libertarians, populists, Southern Democrats, and more recently the Tea Party, and for the Democratic Party a faction of liberals. The Republican Party moved to a more conservative political view as a reaction to the 1960s. In the 1980s, after the Republicans had already...

Burke decided to write an essay called Reflections on the Revolution in France, which discussed his...

But in certain circumstances, should individuals be granted the “right to die”? To understand the case for euthanasia, you must first ask yourself this: how do you want to die? Surely you will overlook this question now, but in the future when you are confined to a hospital bed, facing life’s inevitably painful fate, you may not...

To what extent have conservatives supported tradition and continuity?
Traditional conservatives place an emphasis on tradition as they believe, according to Edmund Burke that traditional customs and practices in society is 'God given'. Burke thus believed that society should was shaped by the 'law of the Creator', or what he called the 'natural law'. If human beings tamper the world they are challenging the will of God. Burke further described tradition as a partnership between 'those who are...

The people of...

Liberals Vs Conservatives
I would like to start by saying that I consider it to be a tragedy that this assignment is necessary. I can not believe that so many people in our class do not know the liberal and conservative views on some of the most basic topics. I by no means think that everyone should believe all of the things that I do, but at the very least they do need to know what both parties have to offer. They have obviously been voting solely on party lines and chose their side based on...

﻿Reflections of the French Revolution
Edmund Burke was very critical of the French Revolution. Burke was critical because he essentially was a traditionalist. He says, “By adhering in this manner and on those principles to our forefathers, we are guided not by the superstition of antiquarians, but by the spirit of philosophic analogy.” Burke doesn’t have any issues with the French wanting a revolution, he just believed they were going about it in the wrong way. Burke believed the French should...

Position Paper: Political Ideology
Upon entering my first semester at Southern Nazarene University I could not have told you my political ideology. I knew what my opinions, observations, expectations, and ideals were, but did not know the proper ideology that would define them.

In the past, some political scientists have suggested that the roles of American political parties are in a major decline. Many factors contribute to this new belief, the most prominent being the lack of Democratic and Republican voters and an increase in independent voters. Anis Shivani and Keith Poole, two political scientists, have studied the shifts of the two major political parties, Republican and Democrat. The two took on opposing views. Shivani believed that America was likely to...

Explain why free trade was an issue in the 1906 General Election campaign.
There were various reasons why free trade was considered an issue around the 1906 General Election, much of this in my opinion was around the opportunism that was on offer to the Liberal Party. The Conservative Party had been rather factious showing poor leadership under Balfour and had a "3 way split".
Free trade achieved a mandate under the Liberal victory of 1906. There was a use of propaganda with the "Small loaf,...

How American Family Values have change on the last 20 years

This was the world of the white suburban minority that exerted media dominance over the rest of the nation. Televison took them into our living rooms, convincing us this was the American family. In reality, this was the world of "separate but equal" family values. This was the...
